Best Overall

Find on Amazon

A rotisserie oven can look intimidating, but Cosori makes any foray into the rotisserie world feel easy. It’s essentially a toaster oven that’s been elevated with multiple functions. The presets are convenient and intuitive, with options for rotisserie, dehydrating, pizza-making, roasting, air frying, and so on. You can use the smartphone options, but feel free to take or leave the more “high-tech” aspects of this oven in favor of the classic setting knobs, which are as sleek and well-designed as the rest of the machine. Coscori’s oven is designed to serve you well across a range of culinary endeavors.

Pros:

  • Works with Amazon Alex or Google Assistant if you want to use voice control
  • Can connect the oven to your smartphone and adjust the cooking time and monitor your cooking remotely
  • Comes with a host of accessories, including trays, wire racks, a rotisserie handle, etc.

Ronco Rotisserie & BBQ Oven

The Meat Lover

This roomy oven is great for cooking meats to perfection.
Biggest

Find on Amazon

Ronco’s oven is a dedicated workhorse when it comes to meats. Right off the bat, it’s spacious and large enough for a large turkey (up to about 15 lbs) or two whole chickens at a time. The settings are incredibly easy to use, and the oven also has a dial-controlled timer that will automatically turn off, so there’s no need to worry about overcooking your food. Overall, if you want a bona fide rotisserie oven that’s durable and doesn’t need any “pro” knowledge, Ronco’s is for you.

Pros:

  • Removable heat reflector helps brown meat evenly and perfectly and seal in meats’ natural juices
  • Ideal when you need extra oven space to cook more at a time

Cons:

  • Not as many settings as some other options

NutriChef Vertical Rotisserie Oven

Small But Mighty

You get the best of both worlds with this compact oven that turns out evenly cooked meats.
Best for Smaller Spaces

Find on Amazon

NutriChef’s vertically designed rotisserie oven may be compact and space-saving, but it still looks incredibly professional. It features a heat-resistant tempered glass door that keeps in heat, along with an auto power-off function. It comes with seven kebab skewers that hang from a rack, which make it ideal for quick and easy meal prep for one (or two). We like that unlike larger rotisserie ovens that you’ll want to store away, NutriChef’s can stay on your counter, making it great for everyday use.

Pros:

  • Stain-resistant and easy to clean (includes a grease tray)
  • Adjustable time settings
  • Easy to store when not in use

Cons:

  • Not a multipurpose oven

Innsky Rotisserie Oven & Air Fryer

The Modernist

We love the settings and design of this oven, which is also a great air fryer.
Most High-Tech

Find on Amazon

One look at Innsky’s oven, and you know that this oven is made for our day and age. Its main functions are as a rotisserie oven and air fryer, but it comes with settings for baking, grilling, roasting, and toasting. We’re especially impressed with the LED touch screen, which comes with minimal but easy-to-understand icons for the different settings (literally a “pizza” button for the pizza setting). If you haven’t jumped on the air fryer bandwagon yet, this might be an excellent multipurpose investment for you. The window is also a gamechanger for those who know one of the drawbacks of traditional air fryers is you can’t see how your food is cooking.

Pros:

  • Comes with great accessories, including a rotisserie basket, skewers, a mesh racks
  • All removable parts are non-stick and are dishwasher safe
  • Double layer feature for optimizing space inside the oven

Cons:

  • If you already have an air fryer, this oven might feel redundant

Oster Roaster Oven

The Classic All-Star

This straightforward, timeless roaster doubles as a slow cooker too.
Most Minimalist

Find on Amazon

What you see is what you get with Oster’s oven, and that’s actually a great thing. It features a self-basting lid that saves heat and energy and a removable rack that you can set your food on before putting it in the roasting pan. The oven is simple and intuitively designed, and we especially like that the settings mark out temperatures for keeping your food warm. This oven produces beautifully cooked turkeys and chickens, but the best part is it can also double as an extra-large slow cooker if you want to prepare heaping helpings of your favorite recipes. Sure, there are flashier ovens out there, but Oster’s roaster is comforting, classic, and built to last.

Pros:

  • All the parts are extremely easy to remove and clean
  • High dome allows for even larger loads

Cons:

  • Fewer functions than ovens that have rotating mechanisms and additional features

Frequently Asked Questions

How should I clean a rotisserie oven?

We recommend using baking soda and vinegar for a gentle but effective clean. Remove any accessories from your oven, sprinkle baking soda on the interior, and spray it with vinegar, taking care to avoid any heating elements. You can also make a paste of baking soda with a bit of water and spread it over the interior of your oven. Once dry, take a damp cloth, wipe off the dried paste, spray any leftover residue with vinegar, and do a final wipe-down. This method can also work for your standard oven.

Are multipurpose rotisserie ovens better than dedicated ones?

It depends on the way you’ll use it. Some prefer an appliance with more functions, but it depends on how much kitchen space you have to spare and what other appliances you already have.
